Hale.<br /><br />His own work is crude. His books are pedestrian. The results of his teaching seems worse than both. (Can anybody name a single one of his students whose work they remotely care for.)अर्जुनhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14724439749828805512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-70378999416271702662011-12-29T16:56:30.852-05:002011-12-29T16:56:30.852-05:00John, I never studied under Mr. Hale either, to my...John, I never studied under Mr. Hale either, to my regret. <br /><br />Etc: I agree with you that the DVD version might not be worth the price. But to me Hale&#39;s accent didn&#39;t sound so much faux British as a kind of genuine American accent from his Boston/New York aristocratic -- or as Zanne says --patrician upbringing. As I understand it, he saved the recitation for the last day, and I&#39;d be pretty electrified to have heard that. <br /><br />Pen, yes, if only the resolution were high enough to really see the drawing. Or if there were two cameras. Or better lighting. At least they had a mike on him.James Gurneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-47300889829252788882011-12-29T16:40:15.305-05:002011-12-29T16:40:15.305-05:00Thanks for posting that, I never had the opportuni...Thanks for posting that, I never had the opportunity to take a class from Mr. Hale being in Ca. His teaching style is very relaxed and with a bit of humor. Marshall Vandruff has a similar style.<br /><br />I always check the feed for your blog daily as there is always something of great interest to learn. I don&#39;t know how you have the time to finsd all of these gems on top of you workload, but I hope you can continue.

I much prefer Eliot Goldfinger&#39;s more systematic and conceptual approach, whereas Hale seems well read but anecdotal and lacking a hierarchical scheme. And frankly I find an anatomy instructor with faux British mannerisms reciting poetry to be annoying.etc, etchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16842857128365186742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-52432848396108289452011-12-29T11:20:22.500-05:002011-12-29T11:20:22.500-05:00I love those videos.

I love that when I go back and read his books now I hear it in that great patrician voice.<br /><br />BTW, Hale was only temporarily a student of Bridgman and switched out of his class to study under William McNulty, who he considered more sympathetic to him. He felt that Bridgman was a hard disciplinarian who imposed too much of his style on his students.Zannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13367267852723378573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-31739961559293479522011-12-29T09:53:18.779-05:002011-12-29T09:53:18.779-05:00I love watching these - it brings his books to lif...I love watching these - it brings his books to life..<br />..but i wish MiniDV had been around back then :)My Pen Namehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10163003696435139513noreply@blogger.com
